Rammy will wear 7

Last updated : 16 August 2010 By Paul Lagan

Ramires will wear the number 7 shirt this season.

He had hoped to wear 8 as it was his number in Benfica - but that is in the hands of a certain Frank Lampard so that was a non-starter.

'Rammy' wore 18 for Brazil in the World Cup.

Let's hope the number 7 does not become a poisoned chalice and he enjoys better fortunes that the last owner of the number 7 at Chelsea - Andriy Shevchenko.

He trained today for the first time with his new teammates and is in with a shout of starting at Wigan on Saturday.
